Christmas Party Dress Code

The start of December marks a very special time in my heart — party season!!!

There are holiday invitations rolling in and before you  figure out what to wear, I  suggest you take special note of the holiday dress code. If you’re wondering what all of those little terms mean — casual, cocktail, formal, black-tie — I am here to break it down for you, all with a holiday twist.

 The Cocktail dress code category is one of my favorites. The cocktail dress code etiquette is a way of stating the dress code that is suitable for the evening; more formal than casual clothes and less formal than evening wear i.e. black tie. It’s all about having fun here, so go on and pull out that little red dress you’ve been aching to wear, and if you’re feeling experimental, I love the idea of dressing up a chic black jumpsuit with statement jewels and accessories.

The Black-tie dress code is the highest dressing code in the book -wearing casual or informal wear would be considered an insult to the host. A long gown or super fancy cocktail dress is a MUST, but that’s not all you need. Black Tie Optional dress code doesn’t really affect us ladies, as we have the choice of a wearing a cocktail dress to most Black Tie events. However, it is still a formal occasion and you should ensure your hemline is not too short and the dress is not too risqué.

When you find the right dress, it’s crucial to complete the look with sleek heels, jewelry, and a fancy updo and flawless makeup palette.

 If your invite reads “formal,” that means that  you need  to step up your style game. For this, you must wear either a formal cocktail dress or a long gown.

If the dress code is casual that means that this is your chance to show your personal style in many ways; dark skinny jeans, leather leggings, miniskirts — all will do. Just remember to add a little shine on the top, to show off your holiday spirit.

Casual Weekend Look

We stare down our closets, five days a week, in search of the perfect professional-meets-fashionable ensembles, and by the time Saturday rolls around, a lady can be forgiven for not wanting to give an ounce of effort to her outfit. But here’s the thing about being a fashion girl—you can’t just turn off the impulse to look stylish, even if you wanted to!

Jeans are an essential part of your weekend wardrobe. If you have a job that requires you to dress more formal from Monday to Friday, the weekend is the time when you can take it easy and just be comfy and casual.

“Socks And Heels’ Trend

Socks with heels is a bold fashion statement that we have seen on editors and bloggers who have bold and adventurous style, but that doesn’t mean you can’t absolutely rock that trend, too. If you think that classic pumps and sandals too formal for street wear, then wear socks with them to make it cool and more casual.

 

You can wear quirky socks and shoes combo in different contrasting shades, or wear a quirky ensemble in your outfit like a skirt, blouse, dress, or even accessories. When wearing statement socks and shoes combos, always play it safe with the rest of your outfit and keep it simple and polished. And when wearing more colourful outfits with different patterns – opt for a neutral combination of your socks-and-shoes to balance it out.

 

 

so .. can you rock this trend ?

Black and Brown - does it work ?

The fashion rulebook was written long ago, but it wasn’t in stone! Forget the rules and make up your own style. The adages of old have long told us to never dare bring these two like-colored shades close to one another, let alone in the same outfit. It’s time you learn how to mix and match black and brown without the fear of the fashion police knocking down your doors. Take these tips and you’ll be stylin’ in no time!

• If you’re wary of looking mismatched, go for lighter shades of brown; the contrast will appear more deliberate. It’s a slightly more casual take on the monochromatic black and white duo.

• nclude a tortoiseshell or leopard piece in your look: the black-and-brown spots will tie everything together. Sunglasses or jewelry is an excellent source of tortoiseshell, while you can incorporate leopard print into either accessories or garments to create a naturally matching look.

• f your goal is to look elegant and professional, make sure that the browns match; if you want an edgier look, try layering different shades and including some two-tone pieces.

• Make sure to wear at least two brown pieces in an all-black look (for example, brown boots and a brown belt, or a brown purse and a brown cardigan.) One brown piece thrown into an all-black outfit can look like an afterthought.
